Age is often more a state of mind than a chronological number. I've known some young people who are very stuck in mental ruts and refuse to change, in recovery, in addiction and in other physical or mental disease.
I've also known young thinking and acting people of all ages, with an illness, recovery or none.
This reminds me of people I've known who've had any major life issue to deal with. Debilitating traumas that are either overcome or given into happen to people of all ages. The resiliency often comes from a deeper place that has nothing to do with age.
